## Chinese

* 哭

### Glyph origin

* Historical forms of the character 哭
* Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
* Small seal script
| | Old Chinese |
| 嶽 | *ŋroːɡ |
| 鸑 | *ŋroːɡ |
| 哭 | *ŋ̊ʰoːɡ |
| 獄 | *ŋoɡ |
In oracle bone inscriptions, ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 吅 (“loudly”) + person with long hair (Similar to 老 without the cane) – "cry; weep". The pictogram of the person with long hair corrupted into 犬. Evidence suggests 吅 could be an abbreviation of the sound component 咢 (OC *ŋaːɡ), making the character phono-semantic (形聲 / 形声) .
Shuowen Jiezi interprets it as a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋ̊ʰoːɡ) : semantic 吅 (“to speak loudly”) + abbreviated phonetic 獄 (OC *ŋoɡ).

### Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kuːk (“to weep; to wail”); cognate with Mizo kûk (“to shriek”) (STEDT).
This seems to be an area word; compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *kuk ~ kuuk ~ kuək ~ kək (“to call”), Proto-Austronesian *-kuk (“sound of a sob”) (Schuessler, 2007).
